<p>
|
|
Urs Janssen and Aleksey Salow have reported multiple buffer overflows
|
|
in TIN. Additionally, the OpenPKG project has reported an allocation
|
|
off-by-one flaw which can lead to a buffer overflow.
|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a TIN user to read a specially crafted news
|
|
article, and execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
|
|
TIN.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All TIN users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-nntp/tin-1.8.2"</code>
